Printmaking lends itself to variations on a theme and to experimentation within the framework of a given idea. I usually work in series, using an abstract language of colors, textures and forms. I am searching for how symbols emerge and communicate.

Printmaking lets me express my love for paper, especially Asian paper, which can be strong, sensitive, and often somewhat transparent, integrating and holding the color. I chine colle on to strong, dense Western papers and, therefore, have the bet of both worlds.
